I have had this problem occur very randomly, but so far have not been able to trace it to a known source. On occasion when I am capturing a tape, or short video clip, my computer will lock up and either play an unending steady tone from the PC speaker, or it will garble the audio coming from the camcorder and repeat it over and over. A hard-reboot of the machine is required, but when I go and look at the captured file, the clip is really short. For instance, if my computer locks up at a 20:00 capture mark, I've only got like 4-5 minutes of captured footage. Shouldn't it end about the same time my PC locks? And why does it lock up? I usually can capture fine without problems, but it does this every so often. I haven't been able to trace it for a solution!
Computer Lock-up and Capture failure?
